all things must pass

chris has found a helpful lawyer in KY--more difficult than it sounds, as the woman had gone to nearly every law office in the county for a consultation, which meant that every firm had a conflict of interest when chris called to discuss their taking the case on. sigh. she has been very thorough.

the lawyer he has retained sounds good; he even thought of getting a continuance so that chris' other son nate can come visit as planned next week. it is an enormous relief as at least 2 days were spent on the phone, trying to find representation, and hearing so many say "she was in here for a consult so we can't take the case" was discouraging--to say the least. now, he may have a shred of a chance to have his side heard. a snowball's chance in hell, maybe, but a chance at least!

now we can concentrate on getting the travel trailer cleaned out for nate's visit. i lived in that trailer for 2-3 years out in cascabel--i have many fond memories of good times in remote places. it's a 23' coachman and should be a lot of fun as a spare bedroom! nate will be here next week, wednesday i think, so we'd better get a move on with this idea, or else he'll be sleeping indoors on the couch--and it's a lot shorter than he is!

thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers. i want to ask you all to send some to jerry's mom, tortured soul that she is. i am sending her compassionate thoughts, wishing her the peace she needs to allow jerry to visit and get to know his father again. they need to have contact again.
